Update 2/17: After four months of very little use, the earbuds no longer pair with the dongle or any other device. Do not buy these.
Pros:
Good build quality.
Multiple ear tips for different size ears.
Mono sound (right earbud only) if you want to have one ear open.
Mic works over the dongle (firmware upgrade needed).
Cons:
EPOS Software is a buggy mess. Good luck trying to upgrade the firmware or save sound profiles.
Randomly disconnects often. I tried iPhone, Android, and PC to confirm it wasn't my device.
Sound quality is quite poor. I tried different sound profiles and even made some of my own.
Mic is atrocious. Sounds like you're in a tin can underwater to others.
Bottom line....these aren't worth more than $25 in their current state. That being said, I'd give EPOS another chance if they released an updated version with better sound and software. The hardware itself is well built and looks/feels nice.
However, I don't think it's fair to call these "gaming" earbuds. To qualify, they would have to offer truly low-latency, and in that regard, these do deliver... Unfortunately, the aptX-LL (Low Latency) codec is apparently running on such a razor's edge that it can't pull it off without the occasional crackling, which seems to get worse as time passes on my Windows PC and laptop, even after trying different ports, firmware, and driver updates.
Kudos to EPOS for including their own USB dongle to ensure compatibility, but I'm afraid it just isn't good enough. To confirm the crackling problem with aptX-LL, I paired these buds with the Creative BT-W3 dongle, which also offers aptX-LL, as well as regular aptX, aptX HD, and SBC.
aptX HD wasn't available - No biggie. aptX and SBC both worked flawlessly, with excellent sound and no crackling whatsoever - just the usual 200-300ms of latency which makes them unacceptable for gaming. Switching to aptX-LL nearly eliminated the latency, but it wasn't long before the crackling reared its ugly head once again. It's not terribly persistent, but it's enough to be annoying, and at this price point, I expect far better.
I have a bulky, wireless headset that works perfectly, but it comes with its own, proprietary USB dongle that wisely doesn't use Bluetooth. I wish EPOS had done the same here, but then I guess you'd lose that mobile compatibility that everyone seems so obsessed with. I'm not sure if this is a failure of aptX-LL in general, or just EPOS' implementation of it. In any case, I'll be sending these back.
Sound quality won't blow you away but they're certainly as good as you can expect at this price range.
Saw some reviews complain about poor noise cancellation but they don't claim to have that feature--it is "noise reducing" as in the sealed design of an IEM type of earbud will block out most noise and they do a fairly good job of that.
A recent firmware update fixed a few connection bugs I had and finally added the ability to use the microphone over the USB dongle.
Overall very satisfied with these earbuds!
That said, don't know if I'd say these are worth full price, but for what I paid, they are excellent.
